I have just started soft foods (sleeved on the 12th) and everytime I eat I get this major uncomfortable fullness in my esophagus, like food won't go up or down. Anyone had this and what is it????

Is anyone post op drinking sodas? What do we know they will do besides put weight back on? Do we know for certain they stretch ur sleeve??

I was hungry on day 4 on. It was terrible. U will Get thru it. I think it's because I was mourning food. It had been such comfort for so long.

I am 3.2 weeks post op. I have been adhering to the post op diet with the exception of one flub but my question is: I am not feeling the hurting and restriction that I did. I guess maybe cause I am not pushing myself to be full, just satisfied? I ate 3 oz turkey taco meat last night. I had plenty and was satisfied but no pain or fullness in my chest. Now I'm freaking that maybe my sleeve is not working correctly. I think I'm just one big paranoid basket case with this.

Where do I buy these online? Are they good (tolerable) or taste nasty? I'm having a hard time getting all my protein in.

My pain with vsg wasn't bad at all. Just a little uncomfortable. I was off all pain meds within 48 hrs.

I am 4 weeks post op and I have to eat about every 2 hours to help with hunger. On day 4 post op I got hungry and it lasted for a while. I am still on soft (see my dr and NUT tomorrow) and the hungry is better but I still get hungry as I am not eating very dense foods. If I eat ground chicken or turkey that helps hold me over longer.

I was 4 weeks post op yesterday. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and total 47 lbs pre and post op together. I have been so lucky with no stall yet. Expecting it anytime but hoping not.

I am getting in around 70-80 g of Protein daily. I am also getting in around 48 oz of Water daily. Sometimes more. I am trying for more but it is just so hard to get it all in!

I am one month post-op today. I have lost a total of 15 lbs since surgery. I weighed 242.6 on surgery day and I weighed 227.8 this morning. I have my one month post-op appointment with my surgeon on Thursday. I am wondering what to expect? Anyone know? I am on the soft/puree diet and I believe they clear for regular food at this time. Also, don't know if my weight loss is slow or not. Feels like it should be more.

I am eating dense foods such as ground chicken or turkey and I find that after I eat my 3 oz. it is really hard to try to get any veggies in because I am starting to feel full. Anyone else have this issue? I am worried about only getting in protein and no fruits or veggies which I know I need to help with the big BM.

I ordered mine from Celebrate Vitamins online. This is the recommended dosage of Vitamins from my surgeon.

The first NSV I had this week was walking into the hospital from the parking deck without huffing and puffing and no leg cramping! I used to work in the hospital and even though I walked this three times per week it was a lot harder! The second NSV is that I am 4 weeks post op on Tuesday and I have lost 9 inches total in 5 weeks! So excited!! I am also down 12 lbs thus far but will weigh again on Tuesday as that is my weigh day!

I was also sleeved on March 12th and I have lost 12 lbs thus far. My weigh day is not until Tuesdays but I had to peek this morning and the scale said I was down another 3 lbs. I have not had a stall yet but I know it is coming. I did measure myself today and in 5 weeks I have lost 9 inches. My sister was also sleeved on the 12th and she is about 100 lbs heavier than me and she did not lose anything for 3 weeks straight. She finally lost 4 lbs this week.

Multivitamin twice daily, Biotin once daily, Iron once daily, Calcium citrate with Vitamin D three times daily, Actigall twice daily (for gallbladder), sublingual B-12 daily, Nexium 40 mg twice daily.

I am 3 weeks out and yesterday I ate a Wendy's junior cb no bottom bun and no lettuce, tomato or any other veggie on it. Just meat cheese and top bun. I tolerated it bit I worry if it was too much. I didn't hurt after eating it but I definitely felt satisfied and full. I am finding I am hungry every few hours also no matter how much protein I eat. What does everyone think??

Did they redo her surgery??

Laura-ven, I am okay. Thanks for asking.

I appreciate everyone's positive and negative comments.

MissT how far out post op are u??

I know! I am scared that I am not doing my sleeve any favors. Today for lunch I was able to eat a small Wendy's chili over 30 minutes. I am full and satisfied now but didn't have any pain while eating like I did in the beginning when I started soft foods. I have to burp alot which seems to make more room. What is wrong with me?? I typically eat soft foods and healthy since the surgery. I flubbed up with the cb. I know this but I'm don't feel as restricted as I initially did with things feeling stuck or hurting. I think of the chili really as a slider food which means U can eat more typically. I don't know. What do u think!?

I am 3 weeks post op today and definitely had buyers remorse for the first 2 weeks. I was depressed, on the verge of tears and obsessing about all the things I wanted (ie food). Ivan tell u it does get better. Hang in there.
